At the same time, the WHALE's radar picks up two Rattlers on its radar. These Rattlers are dropping mines directly in from of the freighter.
Wet Suit opens fire on the Rattlers and they return fire with a missile attack that damages the WHALE and injuries Hawk. As the WHALE begins to sink, Wet Suit gets in a lucky shot that damages the engine of one Rattler causing it to crash into the ocean. The WHALE is drifting toward the mines as the last Rattler returns for another pass.
